Divyam Sugeet, a local who saw the crime scene, said: “It was really horrible. The whole community is shaken up.” Locals last night held a vigil at the spot.

Danielle, of Buncrana, Co Donegal, had dual nationality and was travelling on a British passport. She had been living in Sefton, Liverpool, after studying there.

Buncrana priest Fr John Walsh said: “The absolute horror of this girl’s murder has stunned the community.” While Christy Duffy wrote on Facebook: “Can’t even say RIP to me old friend cause she was more of a believer in reincarnation... no time for resting.”

Police found Danielle’s clothes but were yet to identify a murder weapon. They are checking bars’ CCTV, and a postmortem is to determine if she was sexually assaulted.
